Araneae (Spider) Photos
Araneae (Spider) Photos Araneae (Spiders) About Information on: Spider Photos of Links to WWW Spiders Spiders of North America Relationships Spider Groups Spider Resources -- An Identification Manual About Spiders As in the other arachnid orders, appendage specialization is very important in the evolution of spiders. In spiders the five pairs of appendages of the prosoma (one of the two main body sections) that follow the chelicerae are the pedipalps followed by four pairs of walking legs. The pedipalps are modified to serve as mating organs by mature male spiders. These modifications are often very complicated and differences in their structure are important characteristics used by araneologists in the classification of spiders. Pedipalps in female spiders are structurally much simpler and are used for sensing, manipulating food and sometimes in locomotion. It is relatively easy to tell mature or nearly mature males from female spiders (at least in most groups) by looking at the pedipalps -- in females they look like functional but small legs while in males the ends tend to be enlarged, often greatly so. In young spiders these differences are not evident. There are also appendages on the opisthosoma (the rear body section, the one with no walking legs) the best known being the spinnerets. In the first spiders there were four pairs of spinnerets. Living spiders may have four e.g., (liphistiomorph spiders) or three pairs (e.g., mygalomorph and ecribellate araneomorphs) or three paris of spinnerets and a silk spinning plate called a cribellum (the earliest and many extant araneomorph spiders). Spinnerets' history as appendages is suggested in part by their being projections away from the opisthosoma and the fact that they may retain muscles for movement Much of the success of spiders traces directly to their extensive use of silk and poison. -

Se presenta un listado de las especies del Orden Araneae depositadas en la colección científica del Laboratorio de Acarología de la Facultad de Ciencias, UNAM Los ejemplares fueron depositados entre los años 1972 y 2007 como parte de proyectos de tesis o donaciones ocasionales. La mayoría pertenecen a la familia Theraphosidae (tarántulas) como consecuencia del que se la ha dado al grupo. Al respecto se destacan colectas de los géneros Brachypelma y Aphonopelma de las que se cuenta con representantes de las especies más importantes en el comercio ilegal y que tienen estatus protegido (CITES Y NOM). También se amplía la distribución conocida para la especie Aphonopelma anitahoffmanae. El resto de los ejemplares pertenecen a 30 familias con 73 géneros, provenientes de 28 estados de la república mexicana, uno del extranjero y uno de comercio. Se presentan nuevos registros de las familias Philodromidae, Sparassidae, Corinnidae, y Tetragnathidae. Palabras clave: Araneae, colección científica, UNAM.

ZooKeys 526: 75–104. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.526.6315 Abstract The tarantula genusSericopelma was originally defined based on male specimens, most notably lacking tibial spurs on leg I. Early female specimens were unrecognised as Sericopelma, and typically placed in Eurypelma – a dumping ground for problem specimens. The first females were only later recognised, but authors failed to adequately define femaleSericopelma . Here, the holotypes of the Southern-most alleged Brachypelma species, B. embrithes (Chamberlin & Ivie, 1936) and B. angustum Valerio, 1980 were exam- ined, and finding both to possess defining characteristics of Sericopelma were transferred. The taxonomic attributes to define Sericopelma relative to Brachypelma and select other Neotropical genera are discussed, especially for females. -

Morphology, Evolution and Usage of Urticating Setae by Tarantulas (Araneae: Theraphosidae)

Rodovia MGT 367, km 583, 39100-000 Diamantina, MG, Brazil. E-mail: [email protected] 3 Corresponding author. ABSTRACT. Urticating setae are exclusive to New World tarantulas and are found in approximately 90% of the New World species. Six morphological types have been proposed and, in several species, two morphological types can be found in the same individual. In the past few years, there has been growing concern to learn more about urticating setae, but many questions still remain unanswered. After studying individuals from several theraphosid species, we endeavored to find more about the segregation of the different types of setae into different abdominal regions, and the possible existence of patterns; the morphological variability of urticating setae types and their limits; whether there is variability in the length of urticating setae across the abdominal area; and whether spiders use different types of urticat- ing setae differently. We found that the two types of urticating setae, which can be found together in most theraphosine species, are segregated into distinct areas on the spider’s abdomen: type III occurs on the median and posterior areas with either type I or IV surrounding the patch of type III setae. -
